ar75ts,
I wonder how he drive it into the ground. Perhaps just by using it for its intended purpose.
I know the car and the owner, so don't be a prat!

There is a difference between using a car and trashing a car, and obviously this guy has trashed it, smashed the bumpers, blown head gasket, oil every where, interior scummy, heard he was trying to sell the 164 with a blown head gasket to the wreckers

The V6 you just picked up wouldn't happen to be a black 3.0 would it? I'd be surprised if it isn't as there aren't too many around with a Zender kit and wheels and a while ago I heard a rumour that the black one that used to reside in the South Island had bitten the dust!

If it's true that would make it 11 (I think) real 75 3.0 V6s left!

No its a light blue color. Im in Hastings and the car use to be long to a guy in Napier. The guy who owned just drove it into the ground, its got a blown head gasket, aparently the same guy now has a nice 164 that hes doing the same thing to.

Hi... (and welcome...)

The V6 you just picked up wouldn't happen to be a black 3.0 would it? I'd be surprised if it isn't as there aren't too many around with a Zender kit and wheels and a while ago I heard a rumour that the black one that used to reside in the South Island had bitten the dust!

I'm selling my 1987 Alfa Romeo 75 Twinspark as I've bought another car. I purchased it at 151083 km at which point it got a new clutch and new brake disks and pads. Was planning to part it out and keep the motor but I just don't have time to do that at the momnet. Fully registered and warranted.

I have a wad of receipts as I've spent a horrendous amount of money on it over 8 years.

Problems:
Exhaust rattles like you wouldn’t believe. I think the resonator has given way. I redid the rear half of the exhaust last year.
Bodywork is ratty. It won’t win any concours. Paint isn't the prettiest.
Drivers window needs a push to close, just needs alignment.
Engine leaks a little oil. Whose dumb idea was it to use cardboard instead of decent rubber seals?
Gearbox has lost self centering. Easy fix once gearbox out.

I'm asking $1800 on the basis that it has had a large amount of expenditure (all receipts have been kept for last 8 years). At that price I'll throw in the following:
New unused AC drier.
Overhauled AC pump (not yet installed).
Spare tailights and headlights.
Spare radiator & fan.
Spare AC condensor.
Spare side window.
Number Plate "AR75TS".

Sorry to drag up an old post, I know own it, I bought just have a bit of fun in. It needs quite a bit of work but i have bought a complete v6 from a local wrecker for $350 that has a zender body kit and zender wheels

If you are interested in selling please let me know. Thanks

Looks like an interesting 75. I had an 86 2.5QV and 90 TS but always though a 3.0 would be something special. Unfortunately, I think both of them ended up at Wreck King.

Be nice to put some faces to names of Auck drivers here on the BB?
Even if its not in a 75 I'd be keen - I can bring the 75's replacement: the 155
Weekends are pretty do-able for me if we can organise it a few weeks out.

Yup... gotta agree the 3l is the one to have

... A while ago I threw out the idea of a 75 get together! Anyone think it might get traction?
